I can't seem to find anything to save your contacts to SD card, what you can do is back them up to your SD card. To do so, open Contacts > press Menu key > Import/Export Contacts.Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you are trying to transfer contacts from your ZTE Majesty to your iPhone? If yes, backup your contacts first (steps are just above), then make sure your contacts is synchronized with your Gmail account. Then go to your new iPhone. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and add your Gmail account. Make sure Contacts are enabled for the account. You should now find that all of your Google contacts are in your iPhone.Please let me know how it goes.

I'm not sure if this is possible without using a third party app. But what you can do is backup your contacts and save them to your SD card. Do this regularly and I'm pretty your contacts is safe. I also suggest that you use your Gmail account to save contacts so you always have a backup of your contacts on your Gmail account, which is rather easier to do cause it automatically backups contact info.

Out of the blue my ZTE phone just shifted to Safe Mode. I had not tried to upload a new app. I turned it off and took out the battery. Turned it off overnight, which I do not normally do. Still, every time I turn the pesky little thing on it opens in the Safe Mode. The little owners manual says nothing about Safe Mode that I can find. While it's in this mode I cannot access any of my apps. The phone works fine, but I bought a Smart Phone to keep from having to run back and forth to my computer for needed info. Please, please HELP!

Believe it or not had two zte majesty phones they BOTH had bad volume switch that was holding down and forcing phone into Safe Mode when you turn it on. Now have third new phone and it works great I love it only drawback I can see it the notification ring is not loud enough so you have to pick a loud ringtone.

I just bought the zte majesty last week. Looked all over internet for a case and saw that people were saying the case for the zte source fits perfectly. So I ordered one from Amazon.com for $2 and got it yesterday..they were right. The zte source case fits perfectly on the zte majesty..even has all the correct holes for the power button..charger port..headphone jack..speaker for front and back..volume.. and camera and flash! Its an exact match..so order a case for the zte source for your zte majesty. They have 100's of them for under $10 on amazon.com

Very odd, but once I deleted ALL the photos from the internal memory (saved to dropbox first), the subsequent test photos I have taken seem to be saving to the memory card instead of internal memory. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions in this string have been useful in terms of giving me the ability to tell the camera where to store the photos - there have been no options to select storage at all, which seems very odd. At least some of the apps had the choice to move them or not, but there appear to be no choices for photos. Anyway, thanks for the help and suggestions!!

Carl · Answered

Try taking a photo, check where it is saved. Cause as far as I know, once you insert a SD card, camera app automatically changes save location to SD card. Or try this one: Open Settings > Storage > check if there's an option Preferred install location, if there is, choose SD card.

I was looking for a case for the zte majesty and never found one. How ever, I did find one that matches perfectly, the zte force. All the holes match and everything!!! So excited to find a case that would fit my phone. A case can be a life saver for a phone!!!

Cases will be available today (11/1) from what I have read. I ordered one yesterday on Ebay. Just a simple case and screen protector but that will work until something else is out there.

Thanks so much Mr tony.... I had the same problem as the other user ..yet I don't even recall turning the alarm volume down let alone putting it in silent mode. Just to clarify this works on the first screen that comes up when you press the alarm button. Once you increase the volume by hitting the volume button the alarm sounds will be usable when you go to set an alarm. I will probably download an additional alarm app as a backup.

Tony_23724 · Answered

Had the same problem. When you are on the alarm screen, increase the volume using the side button. You will see a small alarm clock volume control come on the screen and increase the volume to your desired level. It worked for me. Good luck!

The ZTE MAJESTY phone does not come with that particular option to block. I had this phone for two years and loved it. What you may find useful is going to your Playstore and downloading the call detector app or any other call blocker app. I switched phones because this one was gifted to me (LG G FLEX) and I presently use the Safest Call Blocker app. I switched from call detector because it now limits your usage although when I first downloaded it, it was no stipulations but regardless, it works well cause it blocks calls and texts at your discretion.

This ZTE majesty phone DOES NOT have call blocker text blocking feature. I searched everywhere on phone. Tell me Jess. You said it does, then give us complete directions on how to.

Hmm.. Just to confirm if Google Play store is missing, go to Settings > Apps > swipe until you see All > under All check if you see Google Play store.

Thank you very much Carl P. I actually had WeatherBug & had recently also installed Weatherbug time & temperature app. I uninstalled Weatherbug. I thought it had fixed the problem but then it was doing it again. So I uninstalled the Weatherbug time & temp. app. Once I uninstalled it, the error message stopped. A couple days later, I reinstalled the Weatherbug app & no more issues. Thanks again..

Carl · Answered

Open Settings --> Apps --> slide to show All apps --> check if you have WeatherBug installed. If you do, force stop it. Let me know if that works.
